Bryce Harper's affinity for the Phillie Phanatic has reached new heights.

The Philadelphia Phillies star recently received a tattoo of the team's mascot on his right arm. The new ink depicts the Phanatic riding its signature ATV.

Harper hasn't been shy about his love for the mascot, featuring it on his accessories both on and off the field throughout his tenure in Philadelphia.

The two-time National League MVP has also presented it with multiple birthday gifts.

Harper explained why he appreciates the Phanatic so much during a conversation with MLB.com's Todd Zolecki in June 2024.

"Even as an opposing player, I loved him," Harper said. "Just the way he interacted with the teams, players and fans. I always thought it was really cool. Then when I came over here, the affection grew. You just see him on a daily basis how he makes fans light up with the skits he does. He brings fun into the game."

The 32-year-old is coming off a successful 2024 campaign with the Phillies, earning the eighth All-Star nod of his career. He racked up 30 home runs, 42 doubles and 87 RBI in 145 games to go along with a .285/.373/.525 slash line.

As Harper prepares for his seventh season in Philadelphia, he took some time to get a new tattoo of the Phanatic.
